[Verse 1]
They saw a beast in me, never saw the boy,
Eyes cut deep when they whispered “destroy.”
Kyuú-bi sealed tight, Kuráma in my soul,
But it wasn’t the fox that left my heart cold.
Alone on the swing, just watchin’ 'em play,
Feelin’ every fuckin’ laugh like a kunai to the face.
No hand to hold, no voice to guide,
Just a kid screamin’ loud while they prayed I died.
Ho-Kah-Gay’s name? Man, fuck that legacy,
What good’s a dad when you’re born into heresy?
Hiruzen left me rottin’ in a broke-down crib,
Same old ramen, same damn crib.
[Verse 2]
I learned to smile through the hate, fake it with pride,
Throw a prank, cause a scene, just to feel alive.
They never saw the scars, never saw me ache,
Just a demon in the walls they all hoped would break.
They feared what I held, but I held it down,
Coulda snapped, let the fox burn the whole place down.
But I rose through the dirt with no fuckin’ help,
Turned shadow clone jutsu to a tool of self.
Look in my eyes, see the rage and resolve,
Chakra like a storm, heart never dissolved.
Every failed exam, every cold shoulder,
Just made the fire in my gut burn bolder.
[Verse 3]
Konoha’s shame, Konoha’s shame,
But now they chant my motherfuckin’ name.
From outcast to savior, a path of pain,
Made the village bow to what they tried to chain.
I ain’t your monster, never was your pawn,
Still that kid on the swing, but now I’m strong.
Talk no jutsu? Nah, it's pain talkin’ back,
Every word sharp like a Rasengan crack.
I was hated, forsaken, coulda broke or fled,
But I made 'em see the hero in the kid they dread.
Carried my burden, never lost my way,
With Kuráma by my side, I made them all pay.
[Verse 4]
Now I'm Ho-Kah-Gay, bitch, take a fuckin’ look,
Turned every chapter from a curse to a book.
For every jinchúrikí they locked and chained,
I broke every seal, now remember my name.
Still feel that swing, still hear the rain,
Still got the wounds, still taste the pain.
But I wear it like armor, crown on my flame,
'Cause I made 'em love the monster they couldn’t tame.
